KernelTrap was a computing news website which covered topics related to the development of free and open source operating system kernels, and especially, the Linux kernel.[1]

News stories usually consist of a summary of a recent discussion from a development mailing list (Linux kernel mailing list) followed by the entire contents of several messages from the discussion. Each story has moderated threaded discussion attached to it. The site also includes a forum for general discussion of computing topics.

The site uses the Drupal content management system. Kerneltrap has been hosted by the Oregon State University Open Source Lab since May 2005.[2]

The site is operated by Jeremy Andrews. As of November 2008, Jeremy has stopped updating the site due to a lack of time. [3]
